Untitled ('10)

I seek the Epic
Of which I am capable
Yet all I meet are
Wanting
Vacuous traits I lack
Leave me alone
'cause I do not play
Pop song romance
Where is my equal
One to partner me
With depths to plumb
I suffocate from the absence
Of the most intense
Reality I know
I have lost hope
Years now
And it drains my life
Away
A tease here or there
But all for naught
Do the gods really
Oppose it
